commissioners held a secret session this after

Murphy's friends say he is away a spree,
and will turn up all right in few days; that
this sort of thing is not unusual with him; that
he was seen in Hoboken drinking, late 8
o'clock last night and that the fact that he yes
terday deposited nearly So, 500 to the city ac-
count shows that he had no intention of run

THE PANHANDLE ROBBERIES.
An Important Arrest Yet To Be Made--The
Authorities Claim to Know All the Facts.

PITTsBURG, April 15-Nothing particularly
new or important has been developed in the Pan
handle robbery since yesterday morning The
detectives and counsel for prosecution are still
busy preparing the evidence already secured for
the hearings next Monday, and 1t is not likely
that any more arrests will be made at present
Conductor Louis Black, one of the accused,
who was released on ball. has been missing
since Tuesday, and his friends fear that he has
committed suicide.
1t appears that the most important arrest is
yet to be made. former conductor on the
road. named Connolly, is supposed to have been
the leader of the gang and to have gotten away
with an immense amount of plumber. Somehow
or other he got wind. some time ago. that the
raid would be made. and fed. He is now in Kan
sas. but an officer has been sent after him. and
1t is expected he will be arrested and brought
back to this city next week. Between thirty
and thirty-five of the arrested railroaders will
waive hearing and will give bonds to await
the action of the grand jury. The amount OF
bail will be fixed by Alderman Gripp at from
81, 900 down, according to the number of charges
lodged against each prisoner. These will take
their continuance. and their attorneys will
seek to have the case of each
taken up by the grand jury in order to get into
the present term of the Criminal Court 1t is
understood that the principal defense by many
will be to establish an alibi.
In speaking of the robbery, today, Special
Agent Rue said they would be able to identify

An Important Religious Conference.

The call which has been sent out for @cn-
cral conference of evangelical Christians at
Washington, D. G., Dec. -, promises to result
in an important gathering, if we may judge
from the subjects suggested for consideration,
and the character of the 81 gnerS. The call su@
gests that the closing years of this century are
likely to constitute mOmentous crisis in the
history of the nation, and that the necessity of
planting Christian ns titutions in the formative
West, and of strengthening them in the older
States, the duty of oVertaking the rapid growth
of our cities with adequate church provision,
the Importance of closing she widening chasm
between the church and the multitude, and of
bringing the regenerative power of the gospel
to bear upon every character and life, demand
the instant attention of the Christian church
and the full exercise of all its workingmen, the
conflict with the saloon, the widespread spirit
of lawlessness, the alienation of the masses
from the churches and Increasing immigration
are enumerated as indications of growing COM
plications in the near future, and it is suggest
ell that the occasion calls for intelligent and
comprehensive cooperation on the part of the
various churches. The questions specially Sc
lected for discussion are these

Dogging Mr.. Blaine's Footsteps.

Mr.. Frank Richardson, of the Baltimore
Sun, who has Just returned from Europe, says
in his correspondence: '.Several gentlemen
recently returned from Europe, personal
friends of Mr.. Blaine, and who saw much of
him, are justly emphatic in the expression of
Indignation over the conduct toward him of a
Chicago newspaper. This paper put on the
track of Mr.. Blaine, from the moment he
planted foot OH the other side, a detective
writer. This detective has dogged his steps all
over Europe, and has sent almost daily reports
of his movements, based in a limited degree on
facts, but to a larger extent malicious and
imaginative. Mr.. Blaine has made no attempt
to conceal from the friends he has met the eX-
cessive annoyance and irritation which this
'shadowing' has caused him, and he has more
than once appealed in vain to his tormentor to
relinquish his persecution. Certainly it would
be rather difficult to conceive more contempt
ibe piece of business, and no personal or
political enemy of Mr.. Blaine possessing the
attributes Of decent manhood but must con
denim any such species of warfare. As Mr..
Blaine said to one of his friends, the conscious
ness that his every movement and utterancc
was liable to be construed and misrepresented
by n malevolent pen was detracting immensely
from the enjoyment which he had anticipated
when starting OH his trip"
